Any one here know of any colleges that offer sabermetric course or anything of that sort? Preferably around the state of Oklahoma? If not any tips on courses to take to help with sabermetrics? Thank you

Not for sure about any directly related SABRE courses, but the following are helpful:
1. Game Theory – Economics course – the pre reqs might be too tough so you can follow this online course from Yale.
2. Any basic 100 to 200 level stats class that includes ideas like r-squared, RMSE and regression.
3. A course in Excel (stats class may teach this) and a course in SQL.
4. Writing classes never hurt either.

I agree
All of those things are very useful to sabermetrics and even… gasp… in real life too.

Intro to Econometrics also helps
especially with making empirical models and using them for predictions

Rice University in Houston offers a Sabermetrics class. That’s all I know of.
